Rebirth of an Old Farmer: Escape from Famine with Children and Grandchildren

I wish I could fly to the county government office immediately and make this matter a done deal!

After walking for over half an hour, the three finally entered the county government office. As soon as the runners saw the boy next to Ren Moxuan, they immediately approached him with a smile on their faces, trying to get close to him.

"Hey, Brother Xiaowu, what brings you here today?"

Xiao Wu glanced at the yamen runner with a smug look, pointed at Sun Wan and said, "The young master asked me to help these two sisters-in-law settle down and receive the relief food."

"There are twenty-six people in total. They were originally going to Xinghua Village, but now they have established a new village called..."

Sun Wan quickly responded, "Darong Village!"

"Yes, that's right. Let's put this village under Wang Jinzhong's management. Once the work is done, we'll distribute the food."

When the yamen runner heard "Xinghua Village", his eyes flickered subtly, and he glanced at Sun Wan and the other person calmly.

Sun Wan looks like an ordinary woman, but the girl behind her is very pretty.

When the yamen runner remembered that this was an order from the son of their county magistrate, he felt as if he had grasped something.

Although the Liu family of Xinghua Village often showed filial respect, they had to stand at the back of the queue in front of the county magistrate's son.

The yamen runner immediately became extremely enthusiastic and personally took care of the household registration book. It didn't take long for him to get the job done.

With so many people fleeing in recent years, Sun Wan has become very familiar with the process. After the registration was completed, the yamen runner carefully tore off a receipt and handed it to her.

"Sister-in-law, with this note you can go to the backyard to get food. Look, there are six grids here."

"Come and collect your food once a month. When you're done, fill in a black box. When it's all black, you've finished your food."

These rules were exactly the same as what Zaha had said. Sun Wan was full of gratitude and thanked him repeatedly. She also asked if she could come to pick them up tomorrow.

The yamen runner naturally agreed: "Of course, as long as the grid is not painted black, you can come anytime."

In fact, disaster victims usually have to rush to collect food in the morning when everyone is less busy.

If you missed this time, or if the yamen runners were busy and in a bad mood, you would not be able to get food, and even being scolded would be a small matter.

However, this was ordered personally by the son of the county magistrate next year!

The yamen runner also specially stamped Sun Wan's receipt to let his colleagues who were distributing food know that the person holding the note had to be polite.

After all, he has some background.

Sun Wan didn't know the weight of the seal and thought it was a routine operation.

At this moment, the heavy stone in my heart fell to the ground, and I felt much more relaxed.

Sun Wan pondered for a moment, then took out twenty copper coins from her bosom and gave them to the two people in front of her, saying that she was inviting them to taste a glass of rough-brewed old wine.

The two men took the money without hesitation, and there was a bit more satisfaction in their eyes when they looked at Sun Wan.

Well, he is both capable and understanding, which is really good.

After the matter was settled, Sun Wan did not stay for long. She took Lin Xiangxiang's wrist, turned around and left the yamen.

As I stepped out of the yamen, several familiar faces came into view.

The village chief and his men hurried to the county government office, but when they looked up they unexpectedly ran into Sun Wan and the other person, and were both surprised and delighted.

Sun Wan was also very happy. As soon as the two met, they told each other about their recent situation.

When the village chief and others heard this, the worries on their faces immediately disappeared and they praised it repeatedly.

"Wonderful, wonderful, truly wonderful!"

The village chief's white beard trembled slightly with excitement, and his eyes flushed: "We are still part of Darong Village!"

Among this group of people, the village chief is the oldest and has the deepest feelings for Darong Village.

Leaving home, even though I don’t say it out loud, the pain in my heart is heavier than anyone else’s.

Now that Sun Wan had explained that they were still from Darong Village, the village chief's knot in his heart was finally relieved.

Looking at the village chief's red eyes, Sun Wan felt a pang of sadness in her heart.

On the other side, the three brothers of the Ye family hugged their little sister tightly, crying with joy: "That's great, as long as it can be cured..."

They had already prepared to take care of their younger sister for the rest of their lives, but unexpectedly things took a turn for the worse, and the three of them burst into tears.

Sun Wan didn't stop them from venting their emotions. After everyone calmed down a bit, she said with a smile, "Well, the most important thing right now is settled."

"Tomorrow morning, Boss, remember to bring your brothers to the government office to collect relief food. Then we can have some peace of mind for a few days."

"At least, I won't go hungry this New Year."

Su Rongze nodded heavily: "Okay!"

Third Brother Ye's tears were still wet as he shyly stepped forward and said, "Madam Sun, I will definitely pay you back for my younger sister's medical expenses!"

"It's just... my younger sister has always kept the family's money, but now her mind isn't very sharp, so it's difficult to withdraw it for the time being..."

Sun Wan interrupted with a wave of her hand: "We have been through thick and thin together along the way, so why bring up these things?"

"Besides, now that we have relief food, we can save the money from selling pine nuts and use it for other purposes!"

After hearing this, the Ye brothers felt a warm feeling in their hearts.

They secretly vowed to remember this kindness and repay it in the future.

Everyone laughed and cried, and hurried to Xinghua Village before it got dark.

When we arrived at Xinghua Village, night had already fallen.

The whole village was unusually quiet. As Sun Wan walked, she noticed something strange.

It's too quiet.

It was just the beginning of night, so the whole village was not asleep.

Sun Wan and her group had a vague sense of foreboding and couldn't help but quicken their pace.

But when they approached the small bridge, everyone's pupils suddenly shrank.

There was a blaze of fire across the bridge, and I didn’t expect that the whole village was gathered there!

Not only that, Sun Wan and others also vaguely heard the cursing of Zhu Xiuqin and Ma Pozi!

problem occurs!

Several people rushed over and saw the men in the village holding knives and guarding the bridgehead vigilantly, while Zhu Xiuqin and others were cursing in the back.

"Don't even think about it! You bastards, you can't bear to see us live a good life!"

"Trying to force us to leave is simply a pipe dream! None of us will leave! If you dare to get even one step closer, we're all done for!"

Liu Lizheng, supported by his eldest son, was shaking with anger: "Stubborn people! Stubborn people!"

"That's right! I am a troublemaker, what can you do to me?"

Zhu Xiuqin was sharp-tongued, and when she saw Liu Lizheng speak, she immediately turned her attention to him.

"You old, rotten old man! You brought a bunch of natives to bully us outsiders, humph!"

"An old fellow like you who has one foot halfway into the coffin would have been completely subdued in our place long ago!"

"Old Liu, I'm telling you this today. If you don't get out of my way, I'll risk my life to drag your old bones to hell!"

Liu Lizheng has lived for most of his life, and this is the first time that someone has pointed at his nose and scolded him like this.

He was so angry that he almost fainted.

When he was young, his family was well-off. In his middle age, he inherited his father's business and became a well-known village head. Who wouldn't be respectful to him when they saw him?

Who could have expected that today I would be scolded by a fierce foreign woman.

Liu Lizheng was so angry that he didn't want to reason with these mountain people. He turned around and shouted, "What are you still standing there for!"

"This bunch of unruly people gathered together to cause trouble and even took advantage of us. We need to take them all down!"

All the villagers in Xinghua Village were shocked.
